Deaths Running 26% Above Pre-Pandemic Levels ? and the Vaccines Remain a Leading Suspect Fri Jan 27, 2023 07:00 | Will Jones
Deaths continue to run at extraordinary levels ? 26% above pre-pandemic levels this week. Some have argued that the timing rules out the vaccines being involved, but broader evidence indicates otherwise.

Once-great academic institutions are fond of commissioning long reports into their historical ?links? with racism. The latest institution to partake in this ritual is the American Society of Human Genetics.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14Cyprus announced on Thursday that it would not allow vessels participating in the flotilla to Gaza to gather in its territorial waters. This has just been inforced. Flotilla participant and IPSC activist Fintan Lane has just contacted us to say that the Challenger 1, the ship on which he is travelling, has just been refused permission to pass through Cypriot waters.
The Challenger is now being followed and filmed by a Cypriot police helicopter.

Israel's Disinformation Campaign Against the Gaza Freedom Flotilla: http://cosmos.ucc.ie/cs1064/jabowen/IPSC/ipsc/displayRe...D=346
The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign is calling for a public demonstration in solidarity with the Gaza Freedom Flotilla which is under threat from the Israeli Navy who say they aim to hijack the ships, and their 10,000 tonnes of supplies, and arrest, detain and/or deport their passengers.
We are calling for people to mobilise at 6pm on Monday 31st May at the Spire on O'Connell Street in a public display of support for the brave people of many nationalities - including 11 Irish nationals - who are aiming to break Israel's inhumane 3-year-old seige by sea.
Whether it will be a celebration for the supplies and people reaching their destination or a protest against Israeli piracy on the high seas is in the hands of the Israeli state.
Nice to see the TDs stepping after the Flotilla organisers refused to convey letters.
The Swedish delegates, including Henning Mankell (author) & Mehmet Kaplan (Green Party), had a hard time getting onto the boat because of these problems. They did get on eventually (because of the Swedish media inetrest?). There is much more coverage of events here in Sweden, across all forms of media over the last week, than there has been in Ireand.
This answers Mr Man's disinformation, fairly thoroughly.
'Israel claims that we refused to deliver a letter and package from POW Gilad Shalit's father. This is a blatant lie. We were first contacted by lawyers representing Shalit's family Wednesday evening, just hours before we were set to depart from Greece. Irish Senator Mark Daly (Kerry), one of 35 parliamentarians joining our flotilla, agreed to carry any letter and to attempt to deliver it to Shalit or, if that request was denied, deliver it to officials in the Hamas government. As of this writing, the lawyers have not responded to Sen. Daly, electing instead to attempt to smear us in the Israeli press.[5] We have always called for the release of all political prisoners in this conflict, including the 11,000 Palestinian political prisoners languishing in Israeli jails, among them hundreds of child prisoners.[6]'
Supporting this aid convoy to the people of Gaza is such an obvious, uncontroversial thing, I find it hard to believe that there are people out there still engaged in cynical pointscoring on this. Since there is undoubtedly more cynical disinformation on the way I can only recommend again our press release combatting this disinformation campaign http://cosmos.ucc.ie/cs1064/jabowen/IPSC/ipsc/displayRe...D=346
More coverage in the Swedish media.Well we have important things to think about with Eurovision and Matt Cooper interviewing Ryan Tubridy and the inverse ratio between decreasing bread and expanding circuses.Besides,Mossad have taken over in the Passport Office so we have to be nice in case anywhere crops up worth emigrating to.Is it not appropriate that the office is located at Moles(worth) street?Ah,that will be them at the door.Scuse me.
One thing that struck me about the Zioracist Media blitz over the past few weeks is that virtually all their info relating to supplies shipped into Gaza seems to start in 2010 - absolutely no mention of 2009 figures! Why? Because in 2009 the Zioracists were attempting to starve the Gazans into submission - like the Nazis before them, some part of the Zioracist murder-machine had actually sat down and calculated the absolute minimum calorie requirements of the Gazan population and that is the amount of food they allowed into Gaza, (the sick little racist modern-day Nazi fuckwits) but due to the brave actions of people like the Flotilla participants, the bad publicity started to hurt their carefully crafted (but totally false) 'eternal victim' media-image.
thankfully, unlike most of the western media, Al Jazeera are not afraid of becoming the target of the insane racist-rantings of the blood-dripping-from-the-fangs-Zio-racist-media-pitbulls (that's actually kinda insulting to pit-bulls, so my apologies to pit-bulls everywhere) and have had the guts to actually pick apart their silly cynical propaganda.

Zioracists exposed for the scum-bag liars that they truthfully are
Well snared hb.But tone your language.Take your lead from that presenter who kept her cool and demolished the lies and spin with facts.Ranting only turns off those who approach with less information but still open minds.You'll turn into a mirror of the opposition if you let them infect you.Take it from one who has a short enough fuse himself.Keep on scanning.
Thanks for keeping us updated Freda. Good luck to all involved. Free Gaza & the West Bank, free the Palestinians
opus diablos, can I join the regressive hypocrite party?
Today Sunday May 30th, as of 10am this morning many Human Rights groups have come together

Please join us and help us to get the VERY best coverage possible for the flotilla, Media outlets are VERY slow and some not responding at all
we are trying to tweet our way to the top of all search engines.
Please follow these links:
http://twitter.com/ipsc48 link for IPSC

Or set up an account, either way join in and help us to assist the MV Rachel Corry and other vessels to get coverage
Thank You
Sorry,Balducci,its a private party.Did you not notice the singularity of hypocrite?But then I dont have a franchise on double-think either.If you can register the name I'll join your party.I'd call it copy-left only I think someone has that copywrongfully nailed.Last time I tried Dail Eireann didn't even reply.Ce la mort.
Meantime according to the Jerusalem Post the flotilla is getting radio jamming and unspecified technical problems.Not expected inshore till Monday apparently.Lots of vitriol and bile pumping down their comment lines but the actual coverage is more even handed than I expected.More even handed than the Israeli pap we're getting through Irish media.Even Carol Coleman,who can ask questions and pursue evasions seems slack with her bland treatment.Someone pulling her pigtail.
Pity,we could do with a bit of dismantling of the Israeli media security wall.Its higher than the CRH curtain.Its all tar Hamas and polish that Israeli 'bastion of the free west' halo.
BBC reports the truth but will only stick in at the bottom of an article, in the hope that most people will miss it, I 'spose. That way the pro-Zionist (and therefore Pro-racist) plants at the BBC can have their cake and eat it, by being able to claim that they did actually report the truth of the situation, while doing their best to bury the info where many will miss it.
The pro-Zionist (and therefore Pro-racist) plants at the BBC titled this article; http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/middle_east/10193249.stm Gaza aid flotilla 'leaves Cyprus' as if the flotilla leaving Cyprus was a merely a matter of opinion, open to some dispute. One wonders what goes through the heads of the sub-editors at the Beeb. . . .
Anyway, here's the tiny bit of true reporting they allowed in in the very last 2 paragraphs of the article -
But of course in the 2 preceding paragraphs the resident BBC 'expert' had to give us his spin, while pretending to be objective:
The BBC & Donnison pretend that the Hamas quote is 'spin' when in fact by all the international Laws of the Sea the Israeli actions ARE an act of piracy
The BBC & Donnison pretend that the United Nations statement that "the blockade a "medieval siege", says this is only a fraction of what is needed and less than a quarter of what was coming into Gaza before the blockade was enforced" is some sort of inaccurate 'spin' which may be mere fabrication, and in all likelihood is an exaggeration, but in reality is a very accurate summation of the dire humanitarian situation which has made the brave actions of the Flotilla members very necessary.
